I have an idea of how the Hemet Jeep Club, a San Jacinto Valley institution since its founding in 1948, can help boost attendance for "Ramona" at the Ramona Bowl, which continues with this spring's final 3:30 p.m. performances Saturday, May, 3, and Sunday, May 4.

For the past five years, club members volunteered at every performance to push wheelchairs to help the disabled get into the bowl. They are dropped off right by the entrance to the bowl, where Jeep Club members await with wheelchairs, and then get a ride inside. Other members of the club get to use their off-road vehicles when they patrol ridges above the bowl to keep pranksters away who might disrupt a performance by being silly in the hills.

The Jeep Club, according to very-active member Dan Mcgraw, would love to see more wheelchairs donated to the bowl. The bowl offices are open this week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 951-658-3111.

I thought of another duty Hemet Jeep Club members would love.

Next spring, why not create an offroad course for their Jeeps from a flat, potential parking area near Â the Columbia Street entrance to the bowl property? Members of the audience could park below and then enjoy a Hemet Jeep Club offroad ride up to the bowl.
